How is a plot of land inherited by seven individuals from their grandfather, who passed away 35 years ago, to be divided, given that the grandfather left behind two sons from his first wife and five daughters from his second wife, and both sons and the second wife have since passed away?
The first wife does not inherit from the grandfather because she passed away before him. As for the second wife and the two children, they do inherit, and their shares are transferred to their heirs. The grandfather's estate is divided among the wife, five daughters, and two sons. The wife receives one-eighth, and the remainder goes to the children, with the male receiving the equivalent of two females' shares.
When the land is sold, its price is divided into 72 parts: - The wife: 9 parts. - Each daughter: 7 parts. - Each son: 14 parts.
Each heir's share is calculated by dividing the land's price by 72 and then multiplying the result by their number of parts. Then, the shares of the wife and the two sons are distributed among their heirs.
